Beastie Boys’ film a amateur-professional hybrid; Grunge-Reggaeton next

The AV Club interviews the Beasties about their new concert doc, Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! and hears about plans for their new album:

The group gave video cameras to 50 concertgoers dispersed around Madison Square Garden, then created an "authorized bootleg" from the footage. The result mixes the grit of amateur filmmaking with the precision of professional post-production.

AVC: So maybe some reggaeton on the new one?

AH: A lot of reggaeton. Grunge is back, so we're doing the new grunge-reggaeton.

MD: Grunge-reggaeton hybrid, because we figured that will really cross over.
